Hi, The footnote of the section I just filed a bug about says:
Rationale: Building by default with -g causes more wasted CPU cycles since the information is stripped away anyway. The package can by default build without -g if it also provides a mechanism to easily be rebuilt with debugging information. This can be done by providing a "build-debug" make target, or allowing the user to specify "BUILD_DEBUG=yes" in the environment while compiling that package. I don't get it. Which is it, then, BUILD_DEBUG=yes or DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=debug ? And... * There will be much less wasted cpu time for the autobuilders since not having debugging information (and hence also not having to strip it) will increase the speed of compiles. This skips an entire pass of the compiler, That last character should be a full-stop, or is there text missing after it? -- Digital Electronic Being Intended for Assassination and Nullification
